Risky taking Sidebottom and Tremlett, I'd have thought. Long tour, you'd want the back-up to be a little more stable than them. Surely there's another option who's bowling well in country cricket right now?

We will have a development squad in Aus tbh. As for performers in County Cricket, lord knows.

Yeah, indeed. If someone's injured there'll be another whole team to pick from anyway, so I think they can afford to carry players with questionable fitness records as long as they're fit when they're picked originally.

I would think they are fairly stable. Tremlett has played this season without injury & Sidebottom has been playing regular FC cricket.

There is no other test quality quicks in county cricket outside of the 6 that i suggest should go to the Ashes.

Wouldnt have sidearse anywhere near the England squad unless we were playing NZ tbh.
Yeah I certainly don't think he'll be of much use in Australia. I'd probably pick Harmison again before I picked Sidebottom to tour Australia TBH, and that's saying something.
